Hungarian alt-pop artist Saya Noé has built a dedicated following with her unique blend of alt-pop and electronica, performing both solo and with a live band. Recognized as a top HOTS-supported artist since 2020, she earned the Artisjus Award for Songwriter of the Year in 2022 and became a Spotify EQUAL ambassador in 2023. Her 2023 album Jupiter won Best Electronic Album at the 2024 Fonogram Awards, followed by the Venus EP. After performing at Hungary’s top festivals, she is steadily growing her presence abroad.
Mimi Kőrös, Budapest-based singer-songwriter-producer and streamer grew up in Malaysia in a musician family – her stage name ’Saya Noé’ means ’I am Noé’ in Malaysian. She’s making mellow ‘pop noir’, electro-pop, alternative pop tunes in a DIY mode - while being an established Twitch streamer with 42,5k international followers.
Despite having started her live music career only in late 2019, she immediately made the shortlist of HOTS Hungarian Music Export Office and was selected to international showcase events like Budapest Showcase Hub 2020 and Waves Vienna 2021.
’Under The River’, her biggest hit so far was a collaboration with Grammy-awarded UK producer and engineer Matt Lawrence (Adele, Amy Winehouse). Saya Noé got coverage in IQ Magazine and became ’Band of The Day’ on Europavox, referred as ’the Hungarian Lana Del Rey’ upon her first album ’Museum of Sins’. Performing live on stage with a 3-piece band, she had a massive festival summer in 2021, including a support for Morcheeba at Budapest Park, then started 2022 with a live performance on National TV at the Petofi Music Award Show, several award nominations and a Hungarian club tour.
